MEMBERSHIP PACK
How to Join
Being a member of Sarum Orienteering Club is what makes orienteering special for many of us. The camaraderie and club atmosphere at events, both running and social has helped our children become confident young adults and ensured that all members what ever their age or circumstances are made to feel welcome. To take part in orienteering events you must be a member of a club, although newcomers are welcome to try up to 3 events before deciding to join.
